And the rest....he will have found new (well actually old) bits to grind off and make better :?

It might be quicker to buy another Rover off TM for $100 and use that :lol:

sorry Turoa....I didn't mean it.....put the 9" grinder down and step away from it......!

As far as I know its all on for Sat....how many people are coming (do you want me to bring the BBQ?

It may be an idea to let Stinky (Marty) know what you may be planning to do so so he has enough metal there, if you are after hooks etc you will need to let him know so he can order them in.

Maaaaatttttee,

I had a ball, a great day out, cut some shit, drilled some shit, bolted some shit, learnt heaps of shit about shit.

I figured out what to do and how to do it. Can't wait to get in to it.

My Christmas List doubled in size, length, and cost.

lol yeh seen that, ahh shucks :oops:. Problem is I got to much armour now, starting to shread my rear tires on my gaurds, trying to figure how to get more height without replacing the OME springs which I don't think I can afford to replace??? Stinky keeps telling me to do a body lift, keeps telling me how easy it is :roll: . Problem again is $$$. Might look at cutting the gaurds, except they double skinned. (grinder, pop rivets and I'm away).

Why arn't you in school young fella! :shock:

Do the body lift yourself, mine only cost me $60, go buy some of that nylon plactic round stuff in black from catus plactics in petone, Cut, Drill, get some bolts and chuck in. Easy as :wink:

yea...hes already got OME lift springs and shocks etc... but its not enough as hes got alot of bullbars weighing it down so he just needs a cheap option to give it a little more lift to stop guard rub...either a small body lift or coil spacer would do the trick

I'm a employment consultant, which means I do SFA somedays, saying that I didn't finish till 08.30pm last night. Often have 4-5 hours of down time during the days. Also my employer was voted one of the top 10 in NZ.

Anyway, back on subject, I think Stinky has convinced me to lift the body, finally
